Two hypotheses guided these studies: (1) administrators with a greater risk propensity will develop more innovative job targets in a management-by-objectives program than will those with less risk propensity, and (2) educators' risk propensity will increase after group discussion. The Choice Dilemmas measure, content analysis of goal statements, and group process procedures were included in the methodology. Neither pypothesis was supported. (Author/IRT)
